Week 8 Flower (Day 85-91 | Flower Day 50-56) Day 85 - Feb 19 (Flower Day 50) 00:10 pre top-off: pH 5.95 / EC 1.674 Post top-off: pH 5.88 / EC 1.658 Noticed again that the real bulking seems to be happening under the very top tips. Pistils lower down are still white. This matters more than the “top of the tops” look. Day 86 - Feb 20 (Flower Day 51) 00:10 pre top-off: pH 5.92 / EC 1.804 15 min post top-off: pH 5.95 / EC 1.720 EC had crept up. Top-off brought it back down. Plant posture looks good (praying, not tacoing). Still feels like she’s in “steady stacking” mode. Day 87 - Feb 21 (Flower Day 52) Reservoir change at 01:00 New res: pH 5.78 / EC 1.752 Fed ½ dose of what Advanced Nutrients recommended. Reset felt worth it because I couldn’t find any res changes after Feb 6 in my notes, and I didn’t want to gamble this late in flower. Day 88 - Feb 22 (Flower Day 53) 00:10 pre top-off: pH 6.0 / EC 1.780 ~1 L consumed Post top-off: pH 6.0 / EC 1.894 (first reading likely off - meter acting a bit wonky again) PPFD noted around 790. Also: smell is getting more funky (in the good way). And importantly: she’s not “scarred” anymore - almost all previously damaged leaves have been trimmed away by now. Day 89 - Feb 23 (Flower Day 54) 00:10 pre top-off: pH 5.0 / EC 1.852 15 min post top-off: pH 5.58 / EC 1.724 pH came in low and got corrected with the top-off. Plant looks fine. No sign of new damage spreading. The trend stays: tops look “older,” but the mid/lower stacking is active. Day 90 - Feb 24 (Flower Day 55) 00:10 pre top-off: pH 5.56 / EC 1.874 ~1 L consumed 15 min post top-off: pH 5.67 / EC 1.724 Leaves praying. No taco. Everything feels stable and predictable right now - exactly what I want after the January chaos. Day 91 - Feb 25 (Flower Day 56) 00:10 pre top-off: pH 5.73 / EC 1.872 15 min post top-off: pH 5.80 / EC 1.786 Still holding that same EC band after top-offs. Some tip burn / slight leaf edge crisping visible on a few leaves, but nothing that’s escalating fast. Focus remains on bulking and resin rather than chasing white pistils on the very top tips. Thricomes look mostly clear with a few cloudy and no amber. Week 8 Notes / Takeaways Res change happened Feb 21 @ 01:00 (pH 5.78 / EC 1.752, ½ AN dose). EC after top-offs mostly sits ~1.7-1.8, which is consistent given ~800 EC tap water baseline. Smell turning stronger + funkier in a good way. Canopy damage from the old incident is largely a non-factor now - most of those leaves are gone. The “action” is in the mid/lower stacking and healthy sugar leaf resin production. I'm hoping for another 3 weeks of flower before harvest.

Dos semanas de vida para esta plántula, de momento tiene un crecimiento normal, las raíces ya sobresalen por la base buscando sustrato. La semana que viene la trasplanto a una maceta intermedia para continuar desarrollando un potente sistema radicular que me asegure un crecimiento vigoroso durante todo el cultivo. El sustrato del recipiente está especialmente preparado para potenciar el desarrollo radicular, debido a componentes como: Microorganismos sólidos (MMS), Bio Carbón activado con MM, auxinas, micorrizas y la técnica del encapsulado inferior para favorecer el desarrollo vertical de las raíces. Como detecté algún bicho en otra planta aplique diatomeas en polvo, de ahí algunas manchas blancas en las hojas y Neem como foliar, el bicho is dead!! Mantengo húmedo el sustrato con pequeños aportes de nutrientes como: ácidos húmicos, MMA, Miel, Melaza u ormus, el ph lo controlo con vinagre blanco de manzana que ayuda también al enraizamiento, el EC promedio de esta semana es de EC: 0.75. GROWING TIP: Agua!! Mineralizada, viva y estructurada. La importancia de la calidad del agua para el cultivo es vital para mi, he recorrido los manantiales, ríos y arroyos de mi zona con el medidor de EC y el de PH para conocer las aguas que me rodean, recojo siempre que hay oportunidad agua de lluvia de la terraza de un vecino, nunca me falta agua pura, desecho regar con agua del grifo. Para mi, y actualmente, la mejor mezcla de agua que puedo ofrecer a mis plantas es agua de lluvia 75% con otra de un manantial de montaña de agua alcalina (Carbonato cálcico PH: 9.2) y muy mineralizada (EC: 0.85), esta agua yo mismo la consumo regularmente, consigo una mezcla de agua pura con un EC alrededor de 0.19, me garantizo así el aporte de calcio y otros minerales. En épocas donde no llueve uso agua pura de manantiales y arroyos con EC de 0.3. Estas aguas las filtro y almaceno a obscuras en mi casa, la cuestión es que el agua parada pierde oxígeno y también desordena su estructura molecular haciéndola caótica. Para poder recuperar esta estructura y oxigenación el agua debe estar en movimiento como en la naturaleza, yo me ayudo de un agitador magnético para volver a tener agua viva, el agitador crea un vórtice implosivo que en 10 minutos pone las cosas en su sitio y carga de oxígeno nuestra agua, una vez hecho este proceso voy añadiendo los nutrientes uno a uno y sigo agitando hasta el final. El agua tratada con esta técnica, mejora la asimilación de nutrientes, el intercambio catiónico e inunda de oxígeno nuestro sustrato y raíces, también con esta técnica se pueden bajar las concentraciones normales de EC en un 30% y conseguir los mismos resultados, prueba y verás!! Saludos!! Hasta la próxima.

9.3. Teilernte der Headbuds hängt in der Vcure. 14.3. der Rest wurde nun auch geerntet und hängt auf die herkömmliche Weise im trockenzelt bei durchschnittlich 17grad und 60%luftfeuchtigkeit. Nach dem trocken kommen die schöneren Teile zum ausreifen in die Vcure die bis dahin frei ist. Der Rest kommt in Gläser und darf dort ausreifen. Die schönsten Blüten werden am Ende aufgehoben der Rest wird verarbeitet.💛✌️

Today was the day, unfortunately about a week in advance because of an infestation of Mites that reached the buds of all 4 plants left. After reasoning, interrogating AI and watching a video, I had to harvest in advance and I decided to do a washing with H2O2 as per this video explanation of Jorge Cervantes, available at this link (https://youtu.be/S7jE7qzfgQs?si=eC6klOXkWz9eBJO3). I am providing photos and video also of this step I made.

she's a beast and has grown really tall just hoping the buds will fill out in the next few weeks, I grew this strain a while back but it looked completley different to this and was half the size, maybe that was because it was grown in soil ??

6.4. Die 3 Babys wurden jeweils in 15l Stofftöpfe von Zamnesia 1,5cm unterhalb Erdfläche eingelegt und mit Erde bedeckt. Als Erde wird die 420Grow Erde von Gardenboss verwendet und es wurden jeweils 10gramm von Rhizobacter (RQS) der Erde beigefügt. Im untersten Teil der Stofftöpfe wurden Blähtonkugeln ausgelegt. Die ersten 2-3 Wochen sollen die Pflanzen auf der Fensterbank zur Südseite wachsen und dann in einem Foliengewächshaus (Kesser) auf dem Balkon (ebenfalls südliche Ausrichtung) bis zur Ernte bleiben.

How RQS Compares to Your Standouts Brothers Grimm (your "otherworldly" stars: Montel Iced Tea, Body Count, Bubbles Blueberry F4, Ricky’s Hash Plant, Black Tangi Tea) These are landrace-influenced, heirloom-style genetics with exceptional resin, unique flavors, and structure. They outperform RQS in quality, potency, and "wow" factor in your tents. RQS tends to be more commercial/hybridized for ease and yield, while Brothers Grimm prioritizes distinctive traits and consistency in experienced hands. Humboldt Seed Company autos (your top autos for resin, especially OG Triploid) Humboldt focuses on West Coast legacy genetics with heavy resin production. Clearly superior to RQS autos in trichome density and overall quality. RQS autos are faster and easier for beginners but often lack the resin "frost" and depth you get from Humboldt. Fast Buds (fast, flavorful, reliable autos — you like them a lot) Excellent speed and flavor profiles. You noted they're in a "different class" — fair point. Fast Buds emphasizes quick cycles and modern hybrids with nice terps, while RQS autos can feel more generic or require more coaxing. Quick Thoughts on Your Observations Brothers Grimm (Montel Iced Tea, Bubbles Blueberry F4, etc.): These are clearly the stars in your current setup. The strong smell, unique leaf morphology, and overall vigor in small pots show they're expressing well under your conditions. They reward careful growing with quality that feels special — resin, flavor complexity, and effects that fit your low-dose, functional style better than most commercial lines. Your homemade cross (Gelato 44 × Bubbles Blueberry F4 pollen = "Blueberry Knockout"): Nice work on your first intentional cross-pollination! Getting viable seeds and decent plants from a garage-level cross is a real win. It’s not "pretend breeding" — it’s exactly how many great lines started. The fact that it turned out "pretty nice" is encouraging. However, as you noted, combining a Royal Queen Seeds Gelato 44 (solid but commercial) with Brothers Grimm Bubbles Blueberry F4 (higher-quality, more unique genetics) creates a hybrid that can show the best of both, but also some inconsistency. If the RQS side brings easier growth but less depth, while the Brothers Grimm side brings the special traits, the offspring can be hit-or-miss depending on which phenos you kept. RQS Gelato 44 / Mike Tyson 2.0 vs. Brothers Grimm: Your experience matches what many growers report. RQS lines are generally more "user-friendly" and higher-yielding for beginners or volume grows, but they often lack the resin density, terpene complexity, and unique expressions you get from Brothers Grimm. The Tyson 2.0 collaboration added hype, but in your tents it landed at 7/10 while Brothers Grimm hit "otherworldly." That gap in quality is why you're leaning toward sticking with the professional, boutique genetics going forward. 3/30 11:17PM Gelato 44 & Punch Pie were nice right off the tree the little buds put me right to sleep last night!! The Autos are 7-10 but the Photos are 8/10

Vamos familia con la séptima semana de floración de estás Cereal Milk de RoyalQueenSeeds. La temperatura está en 22 y la humedad actualmente está en 50%. La cantidad de agua cada 48h entre riegos no cambia, y por supuesto controlando el Ph entre riegos alrededor de 6.5 - 6.2. Ya se ven bien sanas estas 5 cereal milk, tienen un color y una salud espectacular, y ya están desprendiendo buenos aromas, vemos como van madurando las flores.

This cycle was all along a great pleasure. The plants developed MUCH BETTER THAN EXPECTED, the result under the Q6W-Gen. 2 LED lamps from SANlight is FANTASTIC. I have NEVER harvested more from plants of the same strain under HPS and the quality of the bud (trichomes, taste aroma) is MUCH BETTER when grown under LED, my decision is definitely made, I will continue to solemnly grow with LED-lights in the future. I harvested 2250 gram of Shiva Skunk and 3009 gram of Serious Kush, that a total amount of 5259 gram. In relation to the 3000 Watts (incl. dimmed part!) power of the LED-lights thats an AMAZING 1,753 gram per Watt.

Thanks to the folks on here for the tips on HST to deal with the vigorous growth and the plant tops getting too close to the light! Watched a couple of YT vidz that explained it well and the HST I did to bend the stems away from the light so i could use the SCROG net worked well and the bendy stems firmed back up in no time. Very subtle smell so far, the leaves I'm pruning from the base of the plant smell great when ripped apart between the fingers. I might stick to Autos for subsequent grows as I just don't have the tent space to deal with tall Photo-period plants. Watering/Feeding about twice a week, growing really well and really strong plants.

To start off the week I've only just noticed that instead of 2 leafs and branches on each inter-node they're is 3 nice little mutation going on.....It was all normal through gemination and seedling stage can't wait to see her flourish Day 29 Notes Removed the lower fan leaves and side branches so I have 4 main tops to train I had 6 when i topped Day 30 Notes Watered with bio bizz grow bio bizz cal mag and bio heaven Trained the 4 main branches Day 33 Notes Watered with bio bizz grow bio bizz cal mag and bio heaven and monkeys Root Shoot..also took a few fan leafs blocking lower branches

I have my Electric Sky 180v2 now in instead of the cheap 40$ for 4 lights i bought on facebook. Which were growing but nothing like this thing has been doing the past week. Im still blown away by the light but back to the plants. Doimg great i took some clones. First time ever so hopefully they root. I been sprayin em 4 -6 times a day. My 3rd g6jetfuel i took out of my tent with es180v2 and put in closet by itself with the 40$ cheap leds. It hasnt grown a whole lot compared to the tent plants g61 and 2...i thought maybe it may of had a male or hermi part but honestly i dont think it did bc i cant find it now. But its still in there bc i decided to throw it on 12-12 in closet to find out sex forsure. Ive been foliar spraying in my tent 3 timez a day. And 2 times a week i get 2 little drops of fox farm grow bif in my 10oz spray bottle of water.
